Success Stories 💑
Many have already found love ❤️
“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations
You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”
“I would like to let you know that last month,
“I just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

Event Details
Ready to spice up your love life in Melbourne? Step into the world of speed dating at Diesel Bar & Eatery, where we’re helping singles aged 32-55 find meaningful connections in a city that sometimes feels as maze-like as the famous Melbourne laneways. Located at 202 Little Lonsdale St in the heart of the CBD, getting here is a breeze – hop off at Melbourne Central Station or catch the 30 tram that runs right past our door. For your dating debut, we suggest smart casual attire that strikes that perfect Melbourne balance (think pieces you might find at Alpha60 in GPO or the boutiques along Brunswick Street). Whether you’re commuting from trendy Fitzroy or making the journey from bayside St Kilda, you’ll find yourself among fellow Melburnians who understand the unique challenges of dating in a city that takes its coffee more seriously than its pickup lines.
How It Works
When you arrive, you’ll discover our tried-and-true speed dating format that puts those endless app swipes to shame. Each guest receives a name card and access to our sophisticated Matching App 4.0, with ladies settling into their cozy spots while gents rotate every five minutes. From 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with a strategic intermission at 8pm to refresh your glass of Victorian wine or craft beer. Rather than awkward small talk, our conversation cards help spark genuine discussions, and the magic happens at 8am the next morning when mutual matches receive each other’s contact details. With a carefully curated group of 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women), you’ll find the odds much more appealing than hoping to bump into someone special at your local cafe.
Who You’ll Meet
Our events attract Melbourne’s finest – think creative professionals who know their cold brew from their pour-over, startup founders who can recommend the best hidden bars in the city, and corporate achievers who balance career success with a passion for weekend farmers’ markets. Many are time-poor professionals who’ve grown tired of dating apps that feel as unpredictable as Melbourne’s weather. Our participants typically juggle busy careers with active social lives, seeking someone who understands that brunch is both a meal and a lifestyle choice. Looking for first date ideas? We recommend starting with a stroll through the nearby Queen Victoria Market, where sharing opinions on the best coffee stand can reveal more about compatibility than any dating profile.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social, founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, has successfully hosted over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. We pride ourselves on maintaining equal ratios of men and women at every event, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable experience for all.

The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery, with its exposed brick walls and warm lighting that could make anyone look like they’re using an Instagram filter, provides the perfect backdrop for meaningful connections. The venue’s history as a former textile factory adds character to every conversation, while the intimate booth seating creates natural conversation spaces. Their signature espresso martini might be just the liquid courage you need – and discussing whether it rivals the one at Black Pearl in Fitzroy could be your perfect icebreaker. Speaking of conversation starters, the nearby State Library of Victoria isn’t just a stunning backdrop for photos; it’s also home to some of Melbourne’s most romantic reading rooms, perfect for a literary-minded second date.
